Remove those 2 hoses to the right, 2 bolts then loosen the clamp to the throttle body and remove throttle body cover and air cleaner assembly:

This is the assembly that you have to remove those 2 hoses, clamp, throttle body cover and 2 screws from. Once you have the rectangle cover (throttle body cover) from the picture above off, remove this assembly:

Remove this bolt and the one on the other side to remove the radiator, disconnect the 2 ATF hoses at the bottom of the radiator...then remove radiator. Your bolts are probally bigger because someone replaced mines with different bolts:

Locate 10mm and 12mm screws and remove them, then disconnect sensors, water bypass pipe then remove timing belt covers for right head and left head of engine (timing belt covers are the 2 plastic things covering half of the distributor caps):

Remove crankshaft pulley bolt (22mm), I used a breaker bar and braced it against the floor like in the picture...then cranked the motor for a second to get the bolt loose (or just just an impact wrench).
